Henry A. Russotto - My America - ноты, текст песни (слова)

Be thou, New World by Heaven blest,
 Thy threshold doth on freedom rest.
 America, thou hast my love,
 And if my valor thou wouldst prove
 And ask my life as sacrifice,
 It shall be yielded in a trice.
 No wherefore and no why I ask,
 I shall obey, whate'er the task.
 
 R.:
 Thy wish is holy, thy command, 
 I deem as writ by God's own hand.
 With thee in peace, with thee in strife,
 Blest nourisher of freedom's life!
 I am with thee, with thee, with thee;
 Yea, thou art precious unto me.
 
 Thou sanctuary of the earth!
 Thy voice to men has sacred worth,
 Like that which did from Sinai sound.
 Thy every span is sacred ground.
 What sceptre and what throne shall dare
 With thy bright banner to compare!
 No other friend but thine I know;
 Thy foe – I hate him – is my foe!
 R.
 
 Amidst thy cannon's crash I hear
 The voice of freedom calling clear.
 I bless thy hosts on land and sea,
 God's chosen home of liberty!
 The waves roar hymns to thee my land!
 Thou'rt led by the Creator's hand.
 Glad echoes from thy every hill
 With praise of thee set worlds athrill.
 R.
